Woman reports being raped in Saratoga parking lot

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- A woman reported to city police at 1:45 a.m. Sunday that she had been raped in the parking lot of The Saratogian and that the alleged rapist is someone she is acquainted with. She was treated at Saratoga Hospital following the incident.

Saratoga Springs Police Lt. John Catone said an investigation is under way. Police said they do not believe the public to be in danger.

Asked why there was not an immediate arrest, Catone explained, "You've got to have more than someone pointing a finger. Especially in a rape case and especially when the suspect is known to the victim."
